Answer to Problem 112P

The instantaneous velocity as the function of time is given as vx=v0x+a0xt+12bt2 .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The acceleration of the particle is ax=a0x+bt .

The position of particle is x=x0 and vx=v0x at t=0 .

Formula used:

Write expression for the acceleration of the particle.

  ax=dvxdt

Here, ax is the acceleration of the particle and dvxdt is the rate of change of velocity.

Rearrange above expression for dv .

  dv=adt  ........(1)

Calculation:

Substitute a0x+bt for ax and integrate equation (1) from v0x to vx and 0s to ts .

   v 0x v xdv=0t( a x+bt)dt[vx]v0xvx=[a0xt+12bt2]0tvxv0x=a0xt+12bt2vx=v0x+a0xt+12bt2

Conclusion:

Thus, the instantaneous velocity as the function of time is given as vx=v0x+a0xt+12bt2 .

Answer to Problem 112P

The position of particle as a function of time is given by x=xo+v0xt+a0xt22+16bt3 .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The acceleration of the particle is ax=a0x+bt .

The position of particle is x=x0 and vx=v0x at t=0 .

Formula used:

Write expression for the instantaneous velocity of the particle.

  vx=v0x+a0xt+12bt2

Write expression for the velocity of the particle.

  vx=dxdt  ........(2)

Rearrange above expression for dx .

  dx=vxdt

Calculation:

Substitute v0x+a0xt+12bt2 for vx in equation (2) and integrate for x0 to x and 0 to t .

   x 0xdx=0t[v 0x+a 0xt+12bt2]dt[x]x0x=[v0xt+a 0xt22+16bt3]0txx0=v0xt+a0xt22+16bt3x=xo+v0xt+a0xt22+16bt3

Conclusion:

Thus, the position of particle as a function of time is given by x=xo+v0xt+a0xt22+16bt3 .

Answer to Problem 112P

The average velocity for the given time interval is given by vav=v0x+a0xt2+16bt2 .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The acceleration of the particle is ax=a0x+bt .

The position of particle is x=x0 and vx=v0x at t=0 .

Formula used:

Write expression for average velocity of the particle.

  vav=1Δtt=t1t2v(t)dt  ........(3)

Calculation:

Substitute 0 for t1 , t for t2 , (t0) for Δt and xo+v0xt+a0xt22+16bt3 for v(t) .

  vav=1( t0)0t( v 0x + a 0x t+ 1 2 b t 2 )dtvav=1t[v0xt+ a 0x t 22+16bt3]0tvav=v0x+a0xt2+16bt2

Conclusion:

Thus, the average velocity for the given time interval is given by vav=v0x+a0xt2+16bt2 .

Answer to Problem 112P

The average of the initial and final velocities is given by vav=v0x+12a0xt+14bt2 . This is not equal to the average velocity for the given time interval.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The acceleration of the particle is ax=a0x+bt .

The position of particle is x=x0 and vx=v0x at t=0 .

Formula used:

Write expression for the average instantaneous velocity of the particle.

  vav=vox+vx2  ........(4)

Calculation:

Substitute v0x+a0xt+12bt2 for vx in equation (4).

  vav=v ox+v 0x+a 0xt+12bt22vav=2v 0x+a 0xt+12bt22vav=v0x+12a0xt+14bt2

Conclusion:

Thus, the average of the initial and final velocities is given by vav=v0x+12a0xt+14bt2 . This is not equal to the average velocity for the given time interval.
